I photograph frequently for Purdue University. Recently I visited Dr. Arun Ghosh, in the department of Medicinal Chemistry. Making portraits that tell the story of a person’s passion and career, is something I’ve loved doing since the 1980’s, when I was a student of the works of Arnold Newman and Yousuf Karsh.
The market for wedding photographers is very saturated. I started photographing the occasional wedding more than 20 years ago, when my brother in law liked my “gift” photos better than the ones he paid for. Over the past few years I haven’t had much call to photograph weddings, so much so I get more calls to “fix” wedding photos done by other photographers. This photographer has photographed three Presidents (for news services), many CEO’s for corporate reports, the Dali Lama, along with the first and last men to walk on the moon (in one photo with a University President). I am called on for my skills when people can’t roll the dice.
